REQUIREMENTS

 Follow all manufacturer’s instructions with this device. Only trained personnel should install,

maintain, inspect and use this product and its components or other personal protective

equipment in conjunction with this product.

 Do not use this device if its components are damaged, cracked, broken or have any deformation to

service.

 Use only compatible connectors with this device. Use only self-locking snap hooks or carabiners

meeting a minimum requirement of ANSI Z359.1-99. Only use connectors that are designed for each

application. Ensure that all connectors are fully closed and in the locked position. Connectors

strength must meet the 5,000 lb requirement.

 All personal fall arrest systems must meet all applicable state, federal, city, OSHA and ANSI

requirements and any other regulating government body. It is the responsibility of the employer to

regulate its worker and make sure all laws are being complied with concerning this device.

 This anchorage point attachment must be identified by a qualified or competent person. For fall

the 5,000 lb static load capacity per person. (5,000 lbs for one person) (10,000 lbs for two person)

 Pregnant women and minors must not use this product.

 Designed safe working load is 400 LBS (181 kg). Do not exceed this weight.

Swing Fall

Swing Fall Obstacle - Danger

Danger: Avoid swing falls

Max fall distance 6’

Obstruction/Deck/Floor/Ground

Do not work above anchorage point

Work Surface

Anchorage connector

Shock absorbing lanyard

2’ clearance

Consider D-ring strength

distance and deceleration

distances from shock absorbers

and make sure you obtain a

minimum 2’ clearance.

Swing fall can occur when the worker is

not directly under the anchorage point.

Avoid a swing fall by working directly

underneath your anchorage point. Swing

falls can jeopardize the clearance required

with retractable, shock absorbing

lanyards and other sub-systems of your

fall protection system. Avoid swing fall at

all circumstances. Swing falls can cause

serous injury or death.
